Scrooge says "Remove me" to the spirit at the end of Stave 2 because he becomes overwhelmed by the visions and memories that the spirit shows him. He cannot bear to see the pain and loneliness of his past, which make him feel vulnerable and exposed. Scrooge's reaction also shows his fear of confronting the truths about his own life and choices.
In Stave 2, the spirit of Christmas Past is described as a childlike figure with a glowing head. It seems to radiate warmth and kindness, with a simple tunic and bare feet. The spirit's appearance is ambiguous, allowing Scrooge to focus more on the memories it brings him rather than its physical form.
In Stave 2 of "A Christmas Carol," the Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge on a journey to his past Christmases, including his childhood and early adulthood. Scrooge reflects on his loneliness and how he pushed away those who cared about him. The spirit shows Scrooge memories that evoke both joy and sorrow, prompting him to reflect on the choices he made that led him to his current state of isolation and bitterness.
In stave 2 we see Scrooge with the ghost of Chrsitmas Past visit his old school. here we find a "lonely boy". The boy is in fact Scrooge who was left at the school continually from a very young age never to visit home. here Scrroges memories of being so lonely are found and he refers to the boy as "the poor poor boy". We see now that even at Christmas Scrooge is lonely and has to build a world of make believe from his books ato allow him to cope
We never met his father only a mention in stave 2. However, his father is believed to have abandoned scrooge in boarding school.
They seemed really long.Paragraph 8, In stave 2(before the "Ding-Dong!" thing!!)
In Stave Two of "A Christmas Carol," Scrooge sees the missed opportunity to form close relationships with others during his youth. He regrets not prioritizing personal connections and love over his pursuit of wealth and success. This leads him to feel a deep sense of remorse for his previous choices and behavior.
It sees Scrooge having relived with help of the Ghost of Christmas Past his past Christmas lives and now he is starting to understand what he had and the way his life has affected himself and those around him.
The lonely boy sitting reading is indeed the young Scrooge who was left in his boarding School by his father all over Christmas
It depends on whether you count Marley as the first ghost.Marley comes right when Scrooge is eating dinner. The Ghost of Christmas Past comes "when the bell tolls one" and The Ghost of Christmas Present, "when the bell tolls two."
It would have gone back to his early childhold circa 50 years
